RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Some parts of your new Acura will require servicing

and replacement more regularly than others. Keeping your

Acura’s maintenance on schedule also helps keep your

warranties valid.

PLEASE FOLLOW THE MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN THE

OWNER’S MANUAL, INDICATED BY THE MAINTENANCE MINDER (IF

EQUIPPED) OR VISIT WWW.ACURA.CA IN THE SECTION ACURA OWN-

ERS, SELECT ACURA SERVICE & PARTS, AND CLICK ON MAINTENANCE

CALCULATOR.

Between visits to your Acura dealer for scheduled

maintenance, your Acura will respond most positively

to a little care and attention from you. Here are a few

things you can do to help reduce the possibility of

future repairs.

1. WASH WITH CARE.

Caked up mud and salt on the underbody are a

prime cause of body corrosion. So, take care to flush out

the underbody with a garden hose or at the car wash.

The chart on page 31 shows key areas you shouldn’t

overlook.

2. THE FIRST STEP IN PROTECTING YOUR FINISH.

Twice a year you should give your Acura a good waxing.

This will help protect the finish. Always wax your Acura

in the shade when the paint surface is cool. Covering over

exposed metal helps prevent rust. So, if you find any

minor scratches in the paint, your Acura dealer has touch-

up paint to match your Acura’s body colour. Dirt embedded

in fabric causes it to wear more quickly, so it’s a good idea

to shampoo your Acura’s interior occasionally - just like

you do your home furniture.

3. DON’T OVERLOOK LOOKING UNDER THE HOOD.

All automobile engines tend to consume a little

engine oil. This varies depending on your driving habits

and the type of driving you do. Every second gas-up,

it’s wise to check your Acura’s oil level. If you use a

“self-serve” gas station, check the oil yourself.

4. MAINTAIN ENGINE EFFICIENCY. CHECK YOUR COOLANT.

The water and anti-freeze in your Acura’s cooling

system helps keep it running at the proper and most

efficient temperature. This mixture evaporates slowly,

therefore it should be checked periodically. Before the

winter season, let your Acura dealer check the quality

of your anti-freeze and restore it to its proper strength
